Oh... Gods...

...I've signed up to myspace.

Tenebrous Films

Edited to add: I think the only reason I haven't canceled my subscription yet is because I haven't gone through my messages.

"Due to the persecution of Apnea, Lithium Picnic and anyone that associates with them; the manner in which they changed legal contracts; the resale of sets to other porn sites; the favouritism displayed for some SGs over others; their frivolous lawsuits against competing sites; and various other things that came along with it turning into a business, I have finally decided to discontinue my membership to this website."

That's what I've put in all the messages I've sent out to people I wouldn't mind staying in touch with after I'm gone. Manko made me think some more about why I'm doing this, and I've come to the conclusion that corporate behaviour really turns me off. Every time I came here, every time I heard about some new drama, it eroded my desire to look at the naked ladies present. I started having to make a concerted effort to look at the sets, ending up by going through the ones I'd missed once a month. Then I gave up and stopped bothering altogether. I've seen more nudity in journals over the last few months.

The community is the only reason I've stuck around, and it just isn't enough. Not when there's email and instant messaging, and perhaps even... *gulp* ...myspace.

Last night I dreamt that I was actually in Arathi Basin, fighting for the Alliance, and there was a particular Tauren I kept coming across that was pissing me off. That means he was probably a healing druid or shaman, because I can never dps the bastards down fast enough. The only upside is that they're too busy healing themselves to heal their Horde friends.

Funny thing is, instead of Trollbane Hall was this E-shaped mansion. I was invited in after the battle, and it turned out to be Lithium Picnic's. There was a nice relaxed party in progress, and everyone there was interesting for one reason or another. It's nice to think that not only will SG be forced to pay for all his legal costs, but that they'd also have to pay millions more for harassing and bankrupting him.

I really should write out whatever I'm going to say in my messages to those I wish to remain in touch with. Time is running away from me because I'm feeling crappy. Let's see...

Due to the persecution of Apnea, Lithium Picnic and anyone that associates with them; the manner in which they changed legal contracts; the resale of sets to other porn sites; the favouritism displayed for some SGs over others; their frivolous lawsuits against competing sites; and various other little things that came along with it turning into a business, I have finally decided to discontinue my membership to this website.

...How does that sound? I'm tempted to to continue with "Congratulations, you're one of the girls I want to keep in touch with after I leave!" but it might be slightly too silly.

Wiped my photos and videos, left the few groups I'd signed up to... though it doesn't seem to be registering on my groups tab yet, hm. One step closer to leaving.

Deja vu. I used to write for SWG Stratics, and I think noone tried to fire me until the end because I hadn't been on the front 'page' until then. Now I suspect the SG PTB just haven't noticed me being anti-SG. Or maybe they have and are happy to keep taking my money because I don't actually work for them or anything.

I've decided that I was right in that the social aspect is the only reason I've stuck around.

Ah, there the groups go.

My interest in SG has declined a great deal of late. I suppose being hypocritical enough to stick around since they started trying to bugger LP with a fish fork should have guilt-tripped me once I finally found out why there were no more sets by him around here. I think I stuck around because of the girls I liked to talk to and the fact that I could look at them naked. Haven't bothered with the second part of that for so long now, I've lost track of when I actually stopped bothering to look.

I think quitting this site will by my Christmas present to myself. Yes, Christmas shall be the deadline, I reckon. I'll PM my emails to the girls I'd like to keep in touch with... I wonder how long or short that list will be. Only two of them have my email now as it is.

Well, crap. I want to buy a Salome print, but she blocked me over the whole Nana thing and I can't even PM her. How do I know she's selling prints? Because clicking on the "blog" tab lets me see what she's written even though it doesn't on the "main" tab, and I still read what she says. (Glad to hear her snake survived.)

Hit a brick wall with my NaNoWriMo story. How exactly does a vampire shed what humanity remains and take up an entirely different code of morality?

Edited to add: The iPhone is coming out on this side of the pond. Remember guys and girls, if you can't afford the battery, you shouldn't buy the phone.

Something for Star Trek fans, mainly.



*goes back to writing less than 1667 words a day, dammit*

Tonight someone I play WoW with is going into the hospital and we are gathering together ingame in some sort of display of support. Not like I had anything else planned.

Once midnight strikes, I begin my third attempt to write 50,000 words in 30 days.

I've spent more time than usual away from this site lately. In that time, I started writing again.

Coincidence?

Actually set foot in the forums... boards... whatever today, when I discovered friend Saraphine was gone. Then I noticed Salome was gone too. She may have blocked me over the Nana thing, but I still liked her, dammit.

Apparently they, and a bunch of girls like them, have been kicked out for comments made about the whole second chance thing. I'm assuming that's what it is because those seem to be the last comments they made before they got the boot. Unless there's a clause in the legal contract that says "thou shalt not speak ill of thy masters" this smells of total bullshit. And if the contract does have such a clause, it's just another brand of bullshit. Flaming bullshit from hell-cows of some sort, because smeg knows the devil's in the fine print.

Over the last couple of years, my rating of the website went from top to bottom. I always told myself if it went any further I'd quit. A part of me feels hypocritical for staying this long in the first place. Now I'm seriously considering canceling my account again.

There's one last thing I should do before I leave, and I suspect I haven't done it yet on purpose. (Sorry Noir. I'll get around to it, I swear. Just... not now.)
